• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: The sixty day Memorandum of Understanding is in its final
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: hours now, and a deal between.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: The US and Iran has yet to be reached.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Chief Foreign correspondent Tree Yankst has more live from Tel Aviv.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Great, Yeah, Hey John. Good Afternoon.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Monday will mark sixty days since the United States and
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Iran signed the Memorandum of Understanding, and technically it is
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: set to expire. Reports indicate very little diplomatic progress to
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: reach an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: address Iran's nuclear ambitions.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: We do know this.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Weekend, Iran continued attacks on vessels around the strait. On Saturday,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: a bulk carrier reported being hit by an unknown projectile.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: A day prior, at Emarati oil vessel was also targeted.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: President Trump spoke on Friday about the conflict with Iran
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: and the Strait of Hormuz.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: O capable of really destroying the whole place. We don't
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: want to do that. We have got economic sanctions against
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: them like nobody's ever had before. We own, in the
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: true sense, we own the harm Austra. If they hit,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: we would hit back one hundred times harder.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: With a focus on Iran, We're also tracking the latest
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: developments between Israel and Iran backed Hesbelah in Lebanon. Hesbela
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: violated the seasfire over the weekend, wounding three Israeli soldiers.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: This prompted Israel to launch a new round of strikes
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: against targets in southern Lebanon.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Hesbola committed two major violations today. They struck Israeli troops
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: who were operating in the security zone in contravention of
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: the ceasefire agreement. And then when Israel responded, they moved
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: civilians inside their terrace headquarters. They used their own civilians
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: as human shields so that later on they could point
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: at Israel and say the Israel's targeting civilians, which we
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: are not doing.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Overnight, the Israelis warned residents of northern Israel to be
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: prepared for loud explosions along the border as they continued
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: to operate against Hesbolah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: John all right, Trey Yinst reporting live from Tel Aviv.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Trey.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Let's bring in Mike Cirelli, a retired Navy seal officer.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: All Right, So, Mike, we've been talking about the fact
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that this memorandum of understanding is about to expire doesn't
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: appear there's any new movement toward a replacement piece deal
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of any kind.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So where do we go from here?
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Well, John Good to join you on Sunday. I think
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: this is more of a diplomatic deadline than it is
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: a strategic deadline. Let's be honest, this ceasefire was badly damaged,
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: if not clinically dead. We're stuck between this intermittent combat
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: and economic warfare to the point at this juncture it's inconsequential.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: I think we're looking at time, and the administration has
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: to be prepared to take this well beyond the November
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: third midterm election cycles, which will be damaging to them
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: with independent voters. But time has been a weapon that
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: Iran has always used. It's increasingly becoming a weapon for
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: the US in the global community. I mean Iran's economic
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: posture is damaged by the day more so so at
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: this point, I would stick with a military, economic, diplomatic
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: alignment campaign that is governed by conditions and outcomes, not
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: in quonsequential dates or election calendars.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: As you've been speaking, we've been watching live as the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: President board's Air Force one in Morristown, New Jersey. He's
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: been spending the weekend in Bedminster at his golf club there,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and he's about to head back to.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Washington, DC.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: He's raised a few hackles by suggesting that the United
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: States might make the Strait of Horror.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Moves US territory. Is that practical? Is it possible, Mike possible?
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: No, you know, I don't think the Strait of Her
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Moves requires an American flag. It requires international enforcement for
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: freedom of navigation. This is Trumpian theater and less illlegal proposition.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: We just cannot annex a straight by proclamation. So it's
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: just playing into his negotiations and I think ultimately telling
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Iran that we will go the distance with the blockade
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: in any security to secure the maritime traffic that's impacting
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: the global energy community.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Well, at the same time Iran is under that blockade
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that has apparently turned away at least sixty two ships.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: It's hard to think how they are, you know, continuing
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to thumb their nose at the United States when there's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: not much of any kind of commerce getting across their
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: borders and into their ports.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: Well, there's two sides of that sword. One is damaging
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Iran badly, But at the same time, you know, maritime
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: traffic through the Straits is not even close to where
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: it was pre war, So it's impacting both sides. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: at the end of the day, Iran may be damaged,
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: they're not dead. And it doesn't require much to disrupt
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: the straight h Horn moves. So all eyes are on
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: the straight of Hormuves and that's what's going to be
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: the focus in any negotiations with Iran.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: At this point, here is the President saying that he
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: might consider making the straight a US territory.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: Listen, after we finish defeating Iran, which is being very
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: badly defeated, pretty soon, I'll be declaring the Hormoe straight
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: a territory of the United States.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Should say that one we have.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: The blockade, no ships get through unless we want them to.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: You're suggesting that's more about theatrics than actual policy.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: It's galvinizing his base, and in what better base. When
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: you're speaking to a bunch of first responders from New
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: York that wildly support President Trump, you know he's got
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Iran where he wants them with both the blockade the
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: economic sanctions. Again, it just comes down to time. These
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: are crippling to Iran. You pair it with probably some
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: additional military strikes on their infrastructure. But additionally, what the
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: commentators are missing is diplomatically. You know, we are seen
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: in align Middle East that we've not seen in the
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: further for at least our lifetimes. You know, with a
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: recent pack between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan and attack
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: on one is attack on all. And then also a
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Red Sea maritime coalition that was signed by fourteen Gulf states.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: So that alignment is ultimately going to be the biggest
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: strategic miscalculation by Iran. They've aligned the entire region against them.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: They are further isolated again. We just have to give
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: President Trump time to lay the seeds for what could
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: be the end of days for this regime.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Turn our attention to another topic. Your former service, than Navy,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: is generating a lot of headlines, most of them not
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: good this week because of reports that sailors on board
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the USS Lincoln, the aircraft carrier, are in you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: terrible straits, suicides, bad food, et cetera. Those are the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: allegations because the ship has been on duty in the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Persian Gulf area for two hundred and sixty days, much
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: longer than a normal deployment. I want to get your
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: thoughts on that first, and then we'll play some sound.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: You know, we're always concerned about fatigue, and when you're
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: sitting on a ship, every day becomes a little more monotonous.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: But what I want to be cautious is is that
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: we're not extrapolating maybe a handsful or a few dozen
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: sailors that speak for the other five thousand marines and
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: sailors who are executing their duties to the highest fashion
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: every single day. So while it is worthy of an
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: investigation and taking a further look, we've got to remind
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: these sailors too.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: That is our job. John.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: I had ten combat deployments ranging from four months to
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: about eight months. Army sometimes did fifteen months during the
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: height of the Iraq or Afghanistan war. This is doable,
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: and what it comes down to is the leadership on
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: these ship to keep the people determined, steadfastly, loyal to
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: the mission and focus to get the job done.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: One of the criticisms is that we need more aircraft carriers.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Rather than the eleven carrier groups we have, we should
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: have fifteen, but it takes a long time to build
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: an aircraft carrier, so those numbers are going to stay
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the same for a while.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Mike Sirelli, Mike, thank you.
